Re: B-52's Appreciation
I met Fred Schneider very briefly at a restaurant I was working at. I didn't want to bug him since he was having a drink with his friends but I did shake his hand quickly and said I was a fan.
He's a very tall man, I'm an even six feet and he's considerably taller than I am.

Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

Re: B-52's Appreciation
I'm reading Johnny Marr's autobiography currently, and he talks about seeing the B-52s and right then and there deciding that he needed a beehive hairdo. I love the man,but he was a bit of a nutter.shadowplay wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2019 4:31 amEveryone is welcome to the party!': the B-52s on 40 years of new wave

Re: B-52's Appreciation
I loved the B-52's starting when I was in middle school. I would love to cover "Legal Tender." Even their straightforward stuff was really strange. Until Ricky died and then I was glad to see them get rich but it wasn't the same. They're the only band without a bass player that I like. And they got a bass player, and they started doing wedding music. I saw the Fred Schneider band at an HFStival and they were tight.

Re: B-52's Appreciation
the recent remaster of Cosmic Thing is really really good. Brings new life to all those songs. Cracking album for sure. <3
